Okay, here is an observation about diehard Cat Stevens fans.  If you mention his name we appear in droves like roaches after you leave a piece of cookie on a counter at night and turning out the kitchen light.  We appear to launch our 'assault' just like hungry cockroaches who smell the cookie.  And if someone insults the Catman we become 'aggressive' like killer bees.  ;) :)  :D

Look folks, I have a Catstevens website myself and speaking from experience showing Catlover a picture of Cat Stevens can cause havoc in any forum.  My server keeps complaining about floods and over-heating.  SO...

HIDE THE CAT PICTURES FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR WEBSITES

Love,
A'isha

I can't take the credit.  Catlover posted the original link, which has changed so I posted the new link.  This site is cool.

Love,

Hairspray, that's such a nice thing to say - thank you!  And really, it's not us - it's Cat/Yusuf.  He has the ability to reach us, even from a lapse of 20-some years.

Quoting:
I'll add to my previous question -

When he became a muslim, didn't he cut-off all ties with his former self to the point of regreting (making excuses as to why he thinks little of his past music, even stated on one of his albums) the music he made up to that time?

It seems I need a bit of an education on this subject.  ;D

Hi Hairspray,

He did for a while right after he first became a Muslim! But through the years, he realized that he DID need a part of that life! Not as far as the business goes, because he felt the business was crupt, and not as far as performing live, because he felt he couldn't seve God as well!

But he started releasing his old music again remastering his old LPS and even put together a box set which contains quite a few never released songs and lots of live material! He does enjoy connecting with his fans from the old days and whenever Yusuf tours and visits Universities giving lectures, members of CAT STEVENS.COM are all invited and given FIRST CLASS SERVICE! We are seated up front before anyone else! I've been to two of his lectures now, the last one last February in Orlando! During the lecture out of an audience of maybe one thousand people, and about forty website members, Yusuf pointed us out to the croud saying that it was a privledge having us all there! He affectionately refers to us as MES AMIS, which in French, means MY FRIENDS! He assured us that when he left music, he was excaping from the business and not us, and he regretted leaving so abruptly leaving many fans dismayed! After the lecture, website members get a private meeting with Yusuf where he will talk to them, sign autographs, even Cat merchandise, although he doesn't sign using the name Cat! He signs using his current name, Yusuf Islam!  He has said that he has made peace with his former life and found a balance where the two can be joined together! And even today, he still touches SO MANY of his fans of his Cat days!

Peace,Cat Lover(AKA VIVIAN)

You are way too kind, Cat_Lover - would that be a felophile?

Phil

Quoting:
Now Phil.

Can you blame us ladies for being a felophile when we have a feline who looks like this?

Blame?  Of course not!  However, I must point out at this juncture that this Cat is not the sort of pussy I prefer at all. :o Did I say that?
